Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The early to mid-Paleoproterozoic Lomagundi-Jatuli Excursion (LJE) is ostensibly the
largest magnitude (approximately+ 5 to+ 30‰), longest duration (ca. 130–250 million years) …

Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient that is thought to control oceanic oxygen levels to a large
extent,–. A possible increase in marine phosphorus concentrations during the Ediacaran …

The largest negative inorganic carbon isotope excursion in Earth's history, namely the
Ediacaran Shuram Excursion (SE), closely followed by early animal radiation, has been …

The emergence of the Ediacara biota soon after the Gaskiers glaciation ca. 580 million years
ago (Ma) implies a possible glacial fuse for the evolution of animals. However, the timing of …

The drivers of Ediacaran-Cambrian metazoan radiations remain unclear, as does the fidelity
of the record. We use a global age framework [580–510 million years (Ma) ago] to estimate …

Abstract The Ediacaran Period was an interval of significant global transformation, marked
by major changes in the biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and possibly …

Determining causal relationships between environmental change and early animal
evolution has been limited by our lack of a robust temporal framework for the Ediacaran …

Carbon release during continental rifting is thought to regulate atmospheric CO2 levels.
Supercontinent dispersal‐induced extensional tectonics is similar during the Late Ediacaran …

While it is widely accepted that early animals originated and primarily evolved during the
Neoproterozoic to Cambrian period, there remains ongoing debate over how fluctuations in …
